+AI05-0246-1 says in part:
+
+  No_Implementation_Identifiers
+
+  There are no usage names that denote declarations with
+  implementation-defined identifiers that occur within
+  language-defined packages.  [Redundant: Such identifiers
+  can arise as follows:
+
+  * The following language-defined packages allow implementation-defined
+    identifiers:
+      - package System (see 13.7);
+      - package Standard (see A.1);
+      - package Ada.Command_Line (see A.15).
+
+  * The following language-defined packages contain only implementation-defined
+    identifiers:
+      - package System.Machine_Code (see 13.8);
+      - package Ada.Directories.Information (see A.16);
+      - nested Implementation packages of the Queue containers (see A.18.28-31);
+      - package Interfaces (B.2);
+      - package Ada.Interrupts.Names (see C.3.2).
+ 
+
+I was reading Interfaces.Fortran for unrelated reasons, and noticed B.5(21):
+"An implementation may add additional declarations to the Fortran interface
+packages. ..."
+
+I'm not sure why this is plural (there is only one Interfaces.Fortran package), but
+in any case it sounds like this is a "language-defined package that allows
+implementation-defined identifiers".
+
+Similarly for Interfaces.C (permission B.3(62), which also seems to apply to
+Interfaces.C.Strings and Interfaces.C.Pointers), and the more specific permissions
+B.4(92-93), which apply to Interfaces.COBOL.
+
+Since we are already mentioning Interfaces, it seems we need to mention these other
+packages as well. So I propose that we add:
+
+    - package Interfaces.C (see B.3);
+    - package Interfaces.C.Strings (see B.3.1);
+    - package Interfaces.C.Pointers (see B.3.2);
+    - package Interfaces.COBOL (see B.4);
+    - package Interfaces.Fortran (see B.5).
+
+at the end of the existing list.
+
+I'll modify AI-0246-1 this way unless someone objects.
